My Dear Sir:
I enclose herewith copy of letter from Mrs. Bessie Squire Wallace, 418 First St., Defiance, Ohio, making inquiry as to what the files of the U. S. Pension Bureau show relative to the soldier in the Revolutionary War whom she names. It will be personally appreciated by me if complete information be furnished Mrs. Wallace along the lines of her request, if possible.
Thanking you for your attention, I remain,
Yours truly,

Dear Sir:
It is with pleasure that I am writing you at the suggestion of my brother, Major Guy P. Squire of Sioux Falls, S. D., who has just been here on a visit to his old home. He speaks very highly of his friendship with you and assures me that you will be willing to furnish me with any information which you may have at hand.
In a book entitled "Revolutionary Soldiers buried in Lake County, Ohio" is an article relative to Lemuel Fobes of Massachusetts, and which says that he served with the "Minute men who marched to the Lexington Alarm, and later was in the battle of Bennington, his company having been raised to reinforce the Continental Army to the Northward." He married Anna Bills of Mass. He was born in 1754 and died in 1835, at Painsville, Ohio. He received a pension.
Will you kindly give me all and whatever information you may have at your disposal in regard to this ancestor of mine, his wife and their families, and especially his war record. And, if there are any other records which you may know of with which I could get in touch, I will be greatly indebted to you.
Thanking you for your very kind attention, and assuring you that if there is any expense in connection with this I will gladly reimburse you, I am,
Very truly yours,

BRIEF objections to the admission of Pension Claims , of which those answered in the negative, in red ink, will apply to the claim of Samuel Hobbs which require further proof or explanation.
I. Does the declaration show where the applicant resides? yes II. Did the declarant make the declaration in the county where he resides? yes III. If the applicant did not make the declaration in the county where he resides, is there any reason assigned for his not doing so? IV. Has the declarant mentioned the period or periods of the war when he served? yes V. * Has he mentioned with precision the length of his service, and the different grades in which he served, in language so definite as to enable the department to determine to what amount of pension he is entitled? yes VI. Has he given the names of the officers under whom he served, in conformity with the regulations? yes VII. Has he made a relinquishment of every claim to any other pension than the one under the Act of June 7, 1832? yes VIII. Has the Court given their opinion? yes IX. Has the Clerk given his certificate? yes X. Is the Clerk's seal affixed? And if so, has it a device or inscription by which it can be distinguished from any other seal? yes

XI. Has the applicant obtained the evidence of a clergyman and another respectable citizen as to their belief respecting his age and the general belief in his neighborhood relative to his revolutionary service? no Clergyman - two citizens*
XII. If the clergyman's affidavit has not been produced, is there any reason assigned for not obtaining it? no
XIII. If the applicant has no documentary evidence, and has not obtained the testimony of at least one living witness, has he stated in his declaration that such proof cannot be had? yes

XVI. ‡ Are the papers authenticated as the regulations direct? no ‡
XVII. Are the seven interrogatories prescribed by the War Department answered satisfactorily? And, if not, which of them is not so answered?
EXPLANATORY NOTES.
* QUERE V. In a case where the applicant cannot, by reason of the loss of memory, state precisely how long he served, he should amend his declaration by making an affidavit in the following words:
"Personally appeared before me, the undersigned, a Justice of the Peace, &c. A. B. who, being duly sworn, deposeth and saith, that, by reason of old age, and the consequent loss of memory, he cannot swear positively as to the precise length of his service, but according to the best of his recollection he served not less than the periods mentioned below, and in the following grades; For _____ year _____ months, and _____ days, I served as a _____ For _____ months and _____ days, I served as a _____; and for such service I claim a pension."

It is important in all cases to determine with precision the period for which each applicant served, and the particular rank he held, as the law directs the pension to be paid according to the grade of the pensioner and the length of his service. The use of the phrase about three or four months is too indefinite, and all such qualifying expressions are objectionable. Some persons who apply for pensions merely state they served two years in the militia, &c. without specifying the tours; the names of the officers, and other particulars respecting their service. This form of a declaration is highly objectionable. It must in every case be clearly shewn under what officers the applicant served; the duration of each term of engagement; the particular place or places where the service was performed; that the applicant served with an embodied corps called into service by competent authority; that he was either in the field or in garrison; and for the time during which the service was performed, he was not employed in any civil pursuit.
†QUERE XIV. Proof of Service.
In a case where the name of the applicant is not found on the records of the Department, he must prove his service by two credible witnesses, who are required to set forth in their affidavits the time of the claimants entering the service, and the time and manner of his leaving the same, as well as the regiment, company, and line to which he belonged. The magistrate who may administer the oaths must certify to the credibility of the witnesses, and the official character and signature of the magistrate must be certified by the proper officer, under his seal of office.
‡QUERE XVI. Mode of authenticating papers.
In every instance where the certificate of the certifying officer who authenticates the papers is not written on the same sheet of paper which contains the affidavit, or other paper authenticated, the certificate must be attached thereto by a piece of tape or narrow ribbon, the ends of which must pass under the seal of office of the certifying officer, so as to prevent any paper from being improperly attached to the certificate.
¶ In every case where the clerk of the court, or other certifying officer, has no public seal of office, the certificate of a member of congress, proving the official character and signature of the certifying officer, should accompany the papers.
* The certificate of a clergyman has been procured
† The magistrates who administered the oaths have certified to the credibility of the witnesses
‡ I have I believe got the papers authenticated agreeable to directions.
Please direct the return your answer to Honore Sessions, Painesville, Geauga County Ohio
The certificate of one of the magistrates is not placed in connection with the affidavit to which it refers which I suppose will be deemed immaterial
